An Evening of Experimental, Ambient, and Space music at Brick Factory Nashville
Folks, I’m incredibly excited to announce this TIM KAISER show at Brick Factory. When I sought out other artists for the bill, I decided to aim high and ask a dream list. To my ecstatic surprise, they all said yes!
TIM KAISER (Duluth, MN) – Instrument designer extraordinaire and ambient experimental wunderkind. Ask anyone who has seen Tim perform live, and they’ll tell you he is not to be missed! Tim was featured on Make TV. Check out the video below.
GERBER & GERBER (Tony Gerber & Todd Gerber, Nashville) – Space music pioneers and Nashville music scene trailblazers. A rare treat to see the brothers Gerber performing together!
GOOD RESTER (Brian Siskind, Andy Alexander, Jason Goforth, Nashville) – New York producer and beat-maker Brian Siskind’s ambient project. Brian recently performed a solo commission at Houston’s famed Rothko Chapel.

Musician, visual artist, and record-label entrepreneur — Tony Gerber has proven to be the Renaissance man of Nashville’s music underground.

His music has appeared in soundtracks (including Cameron Crowe’s “Vanilla Sky”), planetarium shows, and on the NPR program “Hearts of Space.” He also breaks boundaries in the virtual world as “Cypress Rosewood,” his avatar who performs concerts in the virtual reality world of Second Life. http://tonygerber.com/
Todd Gerber has been experimenting with the Casio SK-1 keyboard for over 20 years. In bands such as UMLAUT, Dinah Shore Jr and drrdrr, Todd & his bandmates create bizarre worlds of sound using SK -1’s, gongs, drums, synthesizers, and more, performing on bills with Robert Fripp, Adrian Belew, Trey Gunn, The Amazing Delores, and Trans Am. http://spaceformusic.com/
